Software & Machine Learning Engineering
I'm Jeff Ou, a CS student at Northeastern University concentrating in AI.
I build computer vision systems that hold up outside the notebook. Right now I'm a Robotics Software & Systems Test Engineer co-op at HighRes Biosolutions, where my seal-quality inspection model took good-seal recall from 4.52% to 100%.
Before that I was a Machine Learning Engineer intern at meleap, turning motion telemetry from 5M+ players across 40+ countries into real-time performance analytics.

HighRes Biosolutions
Jul 2026 — Present
Robotics Software & Systems Test Engineer
- Reduced training time for transfer-learning vision classifiers (frozen DINOv2 ViT-B/14 and ResNet-50 backbones) from over 5 hours to under 4 minutes via fp16 autocast, cached backbone embeddings, and pipelined CPU preprocessing against GPU inference.
- Built perception for automated seal-quality inspection, detecting wrinkling by scoring six plate regions independently rather than the plate as a whole — raising good-seal recall from 4.52% to 100% and enabling automated quarantine of defective plates before downstream processing.
- Programmed HighRes Flexpod and Prime liquid handlers to run the full inspection loop unattended and synthesize per-well training data on demand, dispensing controlled concentration gradients and artifacts across 300,000+ evaluations.
- Characterized classifier robustness under varying illumination with lux-calibrated Philips Hue rigs, exposing a 9-lux shift that collapsed plate pass rate from 100% to 71.29%, and partnered with mechanical engineering to translate the findings into camera, lighting, and transparent-nest design.
Black Box
Feb — Jun 2026
Network Operations Technician
- Resolved technical support and debugging requests for Black Box's Taiwan office through ServiceNow, triaging and documenting incidents across a hybrid on-site and remote workflow.
meleap Inc. (HADO)
Jun — Jul 2025
Machine Learning Engineer
- Engineered an unsupervised learning model (K-Means clustering and PCA) in Python, scikit-learn, and Pandas to analyze high-dimensional telemetry from 5 million players across 40+ countries.
- Built a robust ETL pipeline to process raw accelerometer signals across x, y, z axes, applying noise reduction and normalization to classify motion primitives like dodging and jumping.
- Deployed the model into the production backend to generate real-time performance analytics, benchmarking user agility against professional player datasets for algorithmic skill feedback.
Yunnan Provincial Museum
2023 — 2025
Tech Coordinator
- Architected a digital guide system scaling to 30,000+ annual users.
- Modernized on-premise infrastructure and SQL databases.
PawHacks
2024 — 2025
Technology Lead
- Led infrastructure for a hackathon of 100+ participants.
- Managed the website and submission workflows.
Projects
Breast Cancer pCR Prediction with HiResCAM
Sep 2025 — Present
CNN Engineer
- Designed and trained a 3D convolutional neural network on volumetric DCE-MRI scans to predict pathological complete response (pCR) in triple-negative breast cancer patients.
- Built a data processing pipeline to load, normalize, and augment 3D MRI volumes from the BreastDCEDL dataset, integrating patient metadata for multi-modal input.
- Implemented HiResCAM interpretability overlays to generate faithful heatmaps of model attention, enabling clinicians to identify the tissue regions driving each pCR prediction.
